Everything Buyout 2020

So it looks like we aren't going to be making any trades at the deadline. Who do we think is going to be on the buyout market and from those players who would be a good fit here/come here. Jeremy Lin last year did not work out as good as I thought he would of.

IT could be bench shooting depth but tbh Matt Thomas is probably better for that at this point. A depth rebounder would also be good. Nothing is dramatically necessary, any signing is a "break glass in case of emergency" pick-up.

Charlotte has a bunch of vets on expiring deals. Maybe they buyout guys like Biyombo, Marvin Williams, or MKG. If so, then I'd love Williams on the team. Nice stretch 4 that can rebound.

Knicks just got Harkless but could buy him out.

Obviously the waiver claim stuff would have to work, but wouldn't it be great if we bought out McCaw to allow the Cavs to sign him (like they wanted to before) and the Cavs bought out TT and let the Raps bring him home.

Right now the Raptors have the core of their playoff rotation more or less set: Kyle, Norm, OG, Pascal, Gasol, Ibaka, and FVV, with Boucher, Rondae and McCaw getting minutes as needed to fill it out. The problem is that seven guys you can really count on is one guy too low, and that ideally Boucher, Rondae and McCaw are break-glass-in-case-of-emergency options: Boucher is still green, McCaw's improved but isn't quite ready for extended playoff minutes, and Rondae's a defensive specialist who's only going to get you garbage buckets. The Raps need one more wing who can defend a bit, score a bit and pass.

Am I crazy or is Vince Carter perfect?

You completely forgot Terence B. Davis Jr. So yes..... you are indeed crazy.
